Migration steps (MediaWiki upgrade or another engine) could be: - provide an archived version of the current wiki (eg. at old-wiki.koha-community.org) - Upgrade (or migrate, there are migration scripts to dokuwiki [1]) to not lose the history, authors, etc. - Remove all the pages we don't want because obsolete or duplicate (we would keep content like the SQL and jQuery pages, even if not up-to-date and need work) - Pages that have been deleted would be automatically re-created on the new wiki with a link pointing to the archived page [2] (seems relatively easy to script) - In case of a new we may need to add a redirect at the webserver level - Clean and improve everything :)
